1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 1: Wow, Hey everybody, it is Wednesday, April two. Welcome to 2 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,599 Speaker 1: the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast where we're still working on 3 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 1: our measurables. It's me and your man n MG Marks 4 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,239 Speaker 1: Grant alongside Michael F. Florio. Randy is at the controls, 5 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: and uh, we're getting closer to the draft, which is great. Oh, 6 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: I guess I should first say to you Florio, Happy 7 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,559 Speaker 1: Opening Day. Eve. I know this is not a baseball podcast. 8 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: I don't care, but opening days like tomorrow, and I 9 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 1: was watching the Dodgers have some giant prospect who throws 10 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,599 Speaker 1: a hundred miles an hour, like you know, strike out 11 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: Shoo Tani last night. So I'm a little bit a 12 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 1: little bit excited about that. I mean, it's just a 13 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 1: matter of like how many games over a hundred the Dodgers, 14 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 1: Uh probably you know what. I said that last year too, 15 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 1: and it ended up still a game behind the Giants 16 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: and they even win a division last year's so you know, 17 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: unless the unless the Giants are phenomenal again this year, 18 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,960 Speaker 1: all about that. Yeah, that was one like a hundred 19 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: plus games. It didn't even win the division because the 20 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: Giants were one game better for most of the season. Um, 21 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: also sorry about the grom. It feels like you guys 22 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: almost for his jersey today, But I was like, I 23 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: can't like it's he's awesome, but he just can't stay 24 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: on the field, just can't stay healthy. Uh. And it's 25 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: seems bad when Buck Show Walter is talking about you know, 26 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: him like being like a mid season addition or like, 27 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: you know, it's sort of like trading for a player 28 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 1: at the deadline like that. That says to me that 29 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: you're not expecting him back anytime. When teams trying to 30 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: put that spin up, well it's like we made a 31 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: huge trade. It's like, well, no, it's not. It's like 32 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 1: you're you're getting back to where we thought we were, 33 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 1: where we thought you'd be at the start of the 34 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: season exactly. But yeah, excited baseball is actually back. They 35 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: figured it out and we're gonna get a full season 36 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: starting on Thursday. So that's great. Um, big show for 37 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: you today. Of course, as we're getting closer to the draft, 38 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: I want to start talking to people who are much 39 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: smarter about the sort of thing than than I am. 40 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: Uh So to that end, we've got Emory Hunt on today. 41 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,559 Speaker 1: I always love talking to Emory. Always a good dude. 42 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: Uh he put out the what is he what he's 43 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 1: calling the largest draft guide in history. I'm not one 44 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: to argue with him. There over a thousand players in it. Uh, 45 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: So we'll getting his take, not on all thousand, but 46 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: we'll pick a few. Let me want to talk to 47 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: him about I get his thoughts on as we get 48 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: closer to the draft. But I want to start with 49 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 1: some news headlines. Things have sort of calmed down since 50 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: the frenzy we had a couple of weeks ago, but 51 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: still something's happening around the league. The Patriots and the Dolphins, 52 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 1: two teams in the same division, they made a trade. 53 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: Davante Parker is going from Miami to New England. And 54 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong, But I feel like that 55 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: automat I think makes him maybe the number one receiver 56 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: there in New England. Um is he anything more though, 57 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: than a wide receiver to for fantasy? I don't think so. 58 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: I do agree with you. I think he's automatically the 59 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: wide receiver one for New England. Now. I think this 60 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: is great for him because he was going to be 61 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: buried on the depth chart behind Waddle and Hill and 62 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: probably Gasecki and maybe more. But for me, he seems 63 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: like one of those receivers that I would like to 64 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: draft as like a bench receiver. I don't think I 65 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: would want him in my like to rely on him 66 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: each week because Mac Jones. Uh, he's very consistent on 67 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: shorter passes, was a little bit inconsistent on deeper balls 68 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: last year. But I think the arrow is definitely pointing 69 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 1: up for Parker someone that I'd be cool having as 70 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: like my my fourth, third or fourth receiver, maybe as 71 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: I'm a guy on the bench rather than someone that 72 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: I would rely on it. He had that one big 73 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: year in yards, nine touchdowns. That was the Vonta DeVante 74 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: Parker breakout year that we had been waiting for forever. Um, 75 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: it's kind of dealt with some injuries the years after 76 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: that hasn't quite hit that level. But now, if you 77 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: can stay on the field, he should see plenty of 78 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: targets in an offense that has been looking for wide 79 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: receivers for a long time. UM. I mean, look, I'll 80 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: say this, and I know I'm not the only one 81 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: to say this, but for all the greatness of Bill Belichick, UM, 82 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: he's been pretty awful at scouting wide receivers. I mean, 83 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: I know, you know, they have Randy Moss and yet 84 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: Bustwelker Julian Edelman have done some really nice things. But 85 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 1: but generally speaking, the Patriots have been pretty bad about 86 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: about their wide receiver talent. Oh yeah, I mean, and 87 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 1: for every success story, there's like three that didn't work out, 88 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 1: Like Ocho Sinko was a was a Patriot for a year. Um. 89 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: This also probably means they're giving up on to Kill Harry, 90 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: who they took in the first round just a couple 91 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: of years ago. Yeah, I that was for me. I 92 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 1: was swinging a mess because you know, I watched the 93 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: mat Arizona State and I really thought he could, you know, 94 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: blossom into something. And I'm looking at it and his 95 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: best season three hundred and nine yards three catches for 96 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: three oh nine that was in So I would think 97 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: the Nikkil Harry experiment is probably done in New England. Um. 98 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: In Tampa, GIOE. Bernard's back signs one year deal with 99 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 1: the Buck Years. Obviously we know that Leonard Fournette is 100 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: still there, but Ronald Jones is gone. Uh, Keyshawn Vaughn 101 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: still there too, if if I'm not mistaken, Um, is 102 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: there a bigger role coming or is he just sort 103 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: of an emergency back for Tampa. I think that his 104 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 1: role will be kind of what it's always been for well, 105 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 1: outside of when you know, like the starter gets hurt, 106 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: Like I would anticipate him being like their third down 107 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 1: back a good amount. I think he'll be there two 108 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: minute drill back for sure. Um, But I pretty much 109 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 1: expect this to be the Leonard Fournette show for the 110 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: most part, with him kind of spelling him uh in 111 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 1: in obvious passing down situations. The thing about Ronald Jones 112 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: is his past protection is awful, so like he was 113 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: already leaving the field in those situations. So I think 114 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: Geo could be kind of like I don't think he 115 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 1: could be James white fully, but he could be like 116 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: a poor man's James Whiteham. Yeah, I think that's probably fair. 117 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: That's probably the closest thing, um weirdly those I mean, 118 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 1: as we about this, it gives me the feeling that 119 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 1: I know, we don't have a lot of true workhorse 120 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: backs right. There aren't a lot of guys out there 121 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 1: that you can count on to get three hundred plus touches. Um. 122 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: But it feels like Leonard Fournette is sort of creeping 123 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 1: toward that territory. Maybe he doesn't quite get there, but 124 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: I just feel like with what they have on that roster, 125 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if we see four Nett, you know, 126 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,280 Speaker 1: get two hundred and fifty nine last year. I think 127 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: to fifty to sixty five feels sort of legit for 128 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: for Leonard Fournette this year. Yeah, I completely agree. I 129 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: think Leonard Fournette is an RB one. And I tweeted 130 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: out the other day, like my early top twelve running 131 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: backs and he was in my top ten, and no 132 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: one even like said anything about it. So like it's 133 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 1: weird because in early drafts that I've seen, like he 134 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: doesn't go as an RB one. You could get him 135 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: where Leonard four Nett always is available in the middle rounds. 136 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: But like I expect that to change come this summer. 137 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: And I think Leonard four Nette, like you said, I 138 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: think he's not only can get those numbers, I think 139 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 1: he's one of these safer it's on volume this season. 140 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 1: I think so too, especially because look at the Bucks 141 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: offense essentially is the same. Um, you know, Brady is back. 142 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: We'll see what happens with Gronk, but you know, Chris 143 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: Goddmen will be back and healthy at some point. Mike 144 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: Evans is still there. Uh you know they're about to 145 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: get Russell Gauge, who I think is a really nice 146 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: addition to this team. Um, this offense still going to 147 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: be pretty good. So I don't see why leard four 148 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: Nette as you know, the the main back in that 149 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: in that backfield can't be pretty pretty predictive as well 150 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: as here. Do you think they'll run a little like 151 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: Todd Bowls? I know always I still think they're going 152 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: to just throw a bunch, because why wouldn't they. But 153 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: like Todd Bowl's new head coach, he's he does like 154 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: to run. He does. Although I think if I'm Todd Bowles, 155 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna tinker too much with what's been working, right. 156 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: I mean, uh, this team won a Super Bowl a 157 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: couple of years ago. They had a really good playoff 158 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: run this year. Um, you know you still got Tom Brady. 159 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: I wouldn't mess with it too much, especially because I 160 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: the way the of the NFC has shaken out, I 161 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: would be surprised if it's not Rams and Bucks in 162 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: the NFC Championship game. Um, you know. I mean, sure, 163 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: weird things can happen, but that that is sort of 164 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: what I'm anticipating right now. Uh. In Houston, they've got 165 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: a new running back there. It is a former Colts 166 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: running back, Marlon Mack, who looked like he was on 167 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: path to do big things and suffered the the Achilles 168 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: injury that really sort of set him back. Um, it's 169 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: hard to get excited about anyone in Houston. Can Can 170 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: Marlon Mack have any fantasy relevance with the Texans? My 171 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 1: first initial reaction when I saw this question was like, no, 172 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: he's Marlon Max. Then I looked at their depth chart 173 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: and it's like him and Rex Burkehead competing for touches there. 174 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: So I think he can be useful in fantasy, similar 175 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 1: to how he was like when he first got drafted 176 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: by the Colts, and and like he was never putting 177 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: up high catch totals and he wasn't you know, never 178 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 1: gonna confuse anyone like this guy could be an RB 179 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 1: wall and but like he was like a volume dependent 180 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,559 Speaker 1: RB two. I think he could do that. Like I 181 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if he leads the Texans in in 182 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: carries and rushing yards this year and at the end 183 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: of the year, we're like, oh, wow, Marlon Mack was 184 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 1: like a back end RB two. This like that wouldn't 185 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: surprise me at all. Um, you mentioned Rix Burkehead. He 186 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: led the Texans in rushing last year four dred and 187 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: twenty seven yards. Who yikes. Uh, he was their leading rusher, 188 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: had three rushing touchdowns, which was tied with Tyrod Taylor 189 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: for the most on the team. So that's three games, right, Yeah, 190 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: So like that that tells you a lot about the 191 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: Texans running games. So I do think Marlon Mack has 192 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: a role. I don't imagine he's gonna get drafted highly, 193 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: if at all, in a lot of leagues, but you know, 194 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: maybe a guy that that we're kind of talking about 195 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,959 Speaker 1: off the wave from wire. Um. So this is a 196 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,959 Speaker 1: sad moment for me here. I want to pour a 197 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: little bit out because Frank Gore is finally calling it quits. 198 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 1: I always said that Gore stood for go on running eternally, 199 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:05,199 Speaker 1: but apparently even father time catches up to Frank Gore 200 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: and he's going to sign a one day contract with 201 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: the forty Niners joined the San Francisco front office, ending 202 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: what has been a really long successful career, especially for 203 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 1: a guy that suffered a major injury early in his 204 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: career actually college uh and and was able to rebound 205 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: and and be incredibly productive had with twelve straight years 206 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 1: of twelve hundred or more scrimmage yards um. Just an 207 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 1: incredibly durable, consistent player. I know we used to joke about, 208 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: you know, Frank Gore being an RB three well into 209 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 1: his fifties, but he's finally hanging it up. So the 210 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: first question is, is Frank Gore Hall of Famer? Because 211 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: I feel like this is gonna be an interesting argument 212 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 1: for the next few years. I think. So. Look, I 213 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: understand people say, and you talked about like the injury 214 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 1: and stuff. When I started playing Fantasy, Frank Gore was 215 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: like the like Mr consistency and like the mid two thousand's, 216 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: it was him and Tom Brady were the only players 217 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: still left from when I first started playing Fantasy. So 218 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,559 Speaker 1: sad to see Frank Gore go. And I know people 219 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: will say, oh, he's a compiler, but he has the 220 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: third most rushing yards in NFL history, Like I think 221 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,319 Speaker 1: that matters, And yeah, he's a compiler, but he he 222 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: was a compiler at a position that you're usually out 223 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: of the league by like your late twenties, early thirties, 224 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: So hanging around until your thirty seven years old, And 225 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 1: he wasn't just like you know, going like the no 226 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: offense to Lashawn McCoy, Like he wasn't pulling the shady 227 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: route at the end of his career where he's like 228 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 1: a fourth string running back who was inactive a bunch, 229 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: not like he was getting meaningful touches until his final 230 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: snap in the NFL. Like his final year he almost 231 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 1: two hundred carries. So I think there's something too to 232 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,439 Speaker 1: being able to stick around and be useful for that long. 233 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: That is a skill set in the NFL that not 234 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: many people have, And I think that's that's that's my 235 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: argument that I've always had for Frank Gore. And I 236 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: remember having this conversation with people, uh in our new room, 237 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: you know, probably going back to sixteen, is that, Yeah, 238 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think you ever look at Frank 239 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: Gore's career at any point and say that he was 240 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: one of the you know, three best running backs in 241 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: the league. But the fact that he was so consistent 242 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: that you could count on Frank Gore for a thousand 243 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: rushing yards for twelve hundred scrimmage yards year in and 244 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 1: year out. And as you mentioned that he did this 245 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 1: for what seventeen years, sixteen years, um, and was consistently productive. 246 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: I think that speaks to his Hall of Fame credentials. So, yes, 247 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: he was a compiler, but as you mentioned, he was 248 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 1: a compiler at a position where they just don't exist anymore. UM, 249 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: you know, And I was, I was like going through 250 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: all the guys that he's played with, UM, I think 251 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 1: he belongs in. I just I think he does. I 252 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: just think, and I think with the way running backs 253 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,079 Speaker 1: are used now, we're gonna see fewer and fewer running 254 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,599 Speaker 1: backs that have Hall of Fame type credentials. And I 255 00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 1: think we're gonna look back at Frank Gore even if 256 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 1: he doesn't get in first ballot, which she probably won't, 257 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: but I think we're gonna start looking back as we 258 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: get further away from his career, We're gonna start looking 259 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: at more running backs. Would be like, yeah, Frank or 260 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: was pretty good for what he did for as long 261 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: as he did. I think I think he deserves to 262 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: be encanton for it. Um. Is he a fantasy Hall 263 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 1: of Famer. It's funny, I just said he's a real 264 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: life Hall of Famer. I think his case for Fantasy 265 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame is weaker because to me, like Fantasy 266 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame is like you, you had a stretch 267 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: where you were like dominant and you were and and 268 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,080 Speaker 1: Frank Gore did so I think for me, I'm being 269 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: a little bit blinded by what he's been the last 270 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: like six seven years where he was more of a 271 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: nuisance for Fantasy than anything of But I think you know, 272 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,199 Speaker 1: from his run from his early part of his career, 273 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: like he was consistently a top two round pick, and 274 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: he had years where he was going in the first round. 275 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:54,199 Speaker 1: So uh, let's yeah, let him in come on. Like why, 276 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: I'm one of those people who, like, I know, some 277 00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: people are like there's a Hall of very good and 278 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,959 Speaker 1: I'm just like, hey, if I like meets the credential credit, 279 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 1: I'm yeah. I feel like it's that middle part of 280 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: his of his career, right or at that time with 281 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: San Francisco, where he just was consistently as eight to 282 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: ten touchdowns. Um, I just think the consistency. But I'm 283 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: with you. I feel like I feel like the case 284 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: for him in the Fantasy Hall of Fame is maybe 285 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: a little more difficult to make, but but I'm gonna, 286 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna, I'm gonna put him 287 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: in in the Fantasy Hall of Fame. It also kind 288 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: of got me to thinking though about the guys that 289 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: are currently active and how many how many active players? 290 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: Do you feel like I have a strong case for 291 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. I mean, Adrian Peterson technically is 292 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: still an active player, right and and he's for sure 293 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: a lock. Um And I'm just like looking, I mean 294 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: what I felt like Zeke might have been on a 295 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: path early in his career. I don't know if he's there. 296 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 1: I think Derrick Henry might be on a path potentially, 297 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: uh for the Hall of Fame. But I'm looking at 298 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: the guys that are that are currently active, and I 299 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: just don't see a lot of potential Hall of Famers 300 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: running back in the NFL right now. Yeah, I would 301 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: agree with that. I think the two like I think 302 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry right now, outside of Adrian Peterson, who is 303 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: technically still active, like you said, I think he has 304 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: the strongest case. Um, Like, do you think I know 305 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: this guy isn't active. Do you think, like with Shawn 306 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 1: McCoy makes it. He's someone that I go back and 307 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: forth on Maybe I think I think I think he 308 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: will be an interesting case. Like I think I think 309 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: there will be a lot of people that argue on 310 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: his behalf because he was incredibly good for so many years. Um, 311 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 1: So I think I think he will get a lot 312 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: of people on his behalf. I think does left Bell 313 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: two super Bowl rings? You know he didn't know, he 314 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: had no he had no part of it whatsoever? Um, 315 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: I don't know. Does does left Bell have a case 316 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: for it? He was he was really good, but for 317 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 1: a short amount of time. Like I think leave Bell 318 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 1: is a hundred percent of fantasy Hall of Famer, but 319 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: I don't think real life like I think, like you 320 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 1: can make that case for Christian McCaffrey, Like that year 321 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: McCaffrey had is one of It is the top two 322 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: season of all time. He's missed so much time, I 323 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: don't think he'll he'll make it. Like s Quan, I 324 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: thought I had a very strong chance when he got 325 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: drafted second overall, but then he's missed too much time. 326 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: Like Eckler is great, but he's he's not gonna get it. 327 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: I'm thinking no, like Jonathan Taylor. It's easy to say 328 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: right now like oh, he's on the path, but like 329 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: that was Zeke a couple of years ago. So let's 330 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: revisit this in four or five years and see what 331 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor is at that point. I'm thinking like, right now, no, 332 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: I think we see some older guys get in who 333 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: recently retired, Like I wouldn't be surprised if McCoy Jamal Charles. 334 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 1: Maybe I think he has a case, but like man, 335 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: it's the position is probably not and and it's because 336 00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,040 Speaker 1: of how the NFL values in that No, it really is. 337 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: I mean, look, I think I think Frank Gore deserves 338 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,160 Speaker 1: to get in. He's, as you mentioned, the third leading 339 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 1: rusher of all time, and all the guys around him 340 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,360 Speaker 1: on the list are all in the Hall of Fame, um, 341 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 1: you know, not counting Gore. The top sixteen rushers or 342 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:16,640 Speaker 1: I guess top fifteen. I guess if you take Gore 343 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,439 Speaker 1: out of there are all in the Hall of Fame, right, 344 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,120 Speaker 1: So I think I think he deserves to get in. 345 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson, like you said, we'll get in when when 346 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: he's finally done. But after that it might be a 347 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 1: while before we see another running back get like legitimate 348 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: consideration for for the Hall of Fame. It's gonna be weird. Um. 349 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 1: By the way, O J. Simpson is currently the twenty 350 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,959 Speaker 1: first leading rusher UH in the NFL. He is a 351 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: Hall of Famer. Lea Shawn McCoy is behind him by 352 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 1: the hundred and thirty four yards. He's a hundred and 353 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,880 Speaker 1: thirty four yards behind O. J. Simpson. So I guess, 354 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: if you want to, I would think he has a 355 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 1: lot more receiving yards than O J. Yeah. Um. So 356 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: if you want to make a case for for Shady 357 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 1: getting in, I think that's that's a strong argument. I 358 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 1: think we need to change the criteria for a running 359 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 1: back to get in because if we're expecting them to 360 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: be like the running backs from ten twenty years ago, 361 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: then no one is ever going to get down again. 362 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 1: It might have to be like who had the best 363 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,239 Speaker 1: like eight nine years stretch something like that, instead of 364 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: like who played for fifteen years and finished you know, 365 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 1: top ten, because those guys just aren't gonna be coming 366 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: around very often. Right. So, as I mentioned, the Shady 367 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: is about a hundred and thirty yard rushing yards behind 368 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 1: o j Uh, he is about seventeen hundred yards receiving 369 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 1: yards ahead of o J. Is there any allow? Is there? 370 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: Is there any running back now? Like if you had 371 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 1: to pick who you think will be this generation's Frank 372 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: Gore and we'll still be talking about them like ten 373 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: plus years now. Is there any running back you think 374 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: can do that? I'm trying to think of, Like who 375 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 1: who is that fantasy nuisance that hangs around on on 376 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 1: rosters that's like, uh, um, you know what, weirdly and 377 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,639 Speaker 1: he's not a fantasy nuisance. I wouldn't be surprised if 378 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 1: it's like a Leonard Fournette, right, Um, He's durable, he 379 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 1: can run the football effectively, he catches the football well, 380 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,360 Speaker 1: I mean he's He's a sturdy, well built guy who 381 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:21,880 Speaker 1: you know has generally been me a fairly injury free 382 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 1: in his in his career. Maybe maybe Leonard four Nette 383 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 1: is that guy. You know, he had the he missed 384 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,120 Speaker 1: half the season in eighteen. Um, he had some little 385 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 1: nagging you know, misses a game here there, but for 386 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 1: the most part he's been relatively healthy. Maybe it's Leonard Fournette. 387 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 1: I was thinking maybe Zeke, but I like Leonard Fournette 388 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: call it probably even more than that. Yeah, I just 389 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 1: feeling the four neet, like his his salary is sort 390 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 1: of an arrange that people still think. It's like everybody 391 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 1: looks at Zeke and they're like his contracts ridiculous, um, 392 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: you know, and and that sort of things. So maybe 393 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: four Neett can keep himself like value priced to stay 394 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: in a too um she remember Todd Gurley. Todd Gurley 395 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 1: seemed like he was on a Hall of Fame trajectory too, 396 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 1: is he is he just done? Like I feel like 397 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 1: last year he was tweeting about, like, you know, recovering, 398 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: and I'm like, are you choosing to recover this year 399 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,640 Speaker 1: or did the NFL choose for you? Yeah? I mean, 400 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: you know, some guys are fortunate to retire. Most guys 401 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,439 Speaker 1: get retired by the league. And I just I have 402 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: a sneaking suspicion that Todd Gurley may end up being 403 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: retired by the NFL. Really sad, the frank guy who 404 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: just was so explosive so early in his career and 405 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: looked like he was just going to just dominic the 406 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: league for years. Unfortunately, THO was knee injuries just just 407 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 1: caught up to him. Oh, by the way, I forgot 408 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 1: to mention your Frank Gore is gonna have a professional 409 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: boxing debut in May as well. Um, I don't remember. 410 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 1: He had an amateur fight with Darren Williams, formerly of 411 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 1: the NBA, and it did not go well for Frank. 412 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: So I was disappointed there because I was like, Hey, 413 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 1: we work at the NFL. I'm going to root for 414 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: the NFL side. And then Frank Gore got to mom 415 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 1: and man, we joked about it. There was a point 416 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 1: in that fight where like it seemed like he just 417 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,959 Speaker 1: forgot he was fighting and he got punched and was like, 418 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,880 Speaker 1: what just happened? Like, go were You've taken a lot 419 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: of a lot of shots in your life, maybe just 420 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: enjoy retirements. I just you know, I remember the meme 421 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 1: of him like taking a punch and looking terrified, and 422 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: like that was kind of the meme for a while. 423 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,919 Speaker 1: So I wish him the best, but it feels like 424 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,959 Speaker 1: this might not be the best career move for some 425 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 1: of these guys are just built differently, man, Like they 426 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 1: just can't retire, cannot I mean, you know, I know 427 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: for a lot of guys, it is about. It's about 428 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,919 Speaker 1: the competition, man, It's about the the attention and the cheers, 429 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I know for some guys it's 430 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 1: hard to kind of step away from that. So I 431 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 1: don't know. Hopefully working in football will at least help 432 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 1: keep go around the game and uh you know, and 433 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: kind of satisfy that need at least a little bit there. 434 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 1: All right, let me take a break and we'll come 435 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: back and we will talk to Emery Hunt, he of 436 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 1: the Football game Plan, he of the giant draft guy 437 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 1: that we will pick his brain about some of the 438 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 1: guys that we will see have their name called sometime 439 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: at the end of April. So that's coming up next 440 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:16,639 Speaker 1: on the NFL Fantasy Football Show. We are excited to 441 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 1: be joined by a guy that I enjoyed talking to. 442 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: We always talked to him around this time of year. 443 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: I consider him to be the hardest working man, certainly 444 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,199 Speaker 1: in the draft game. Right now. You can find his 445 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 1: work at his own side first of all football game plans. 446 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: You also see him at CBS Sports on sports Line, 447 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 1: kind of all over the place this time of year. 448 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: And surprised that he is actually at home because normally 449 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: he is on the road a lot this year, but 450 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,880 Speaker 1: it is the one and only E Marie Hunt. Uh, Emory. 451 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,120 Speaker 1: Always good to talk to you, man, we were talking 452 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 1: before we started recording this thing. You you are catching 453 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 1: your breath after what has been a pretty amazing draft 454 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 1: season for you so far. Yeah, it has been, you know, 455 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 1: a whirlwind. So it's cool to get out and just 456 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 1: kind of like relax a little bit. Um, But you're 457 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: always gonna have you know. Someone asked me the day, Hey, Mac, 458 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 1: got your your draft guide? Uh, what about this player? 459 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,719 Speaker 1: Like bro, I did over a thousand players that's not 460 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: in it? Like what do you make body right now? Man? 461 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:15,879 Speaker 1: But not hi in school, sometimes you just want to 462 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: take a take a step back and try to recharge 463 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 1: the batteries. I'm you know, I'm filling my time with 464 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:26,479 Speaker 1: the foods that built America. Love that show, um, and 465 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 1: also without the mindless TV options that I that I 466 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 1: kind of like being to watch all the time. Um. Yeah, 467 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 1: I mean, so you're talking about the Draft Guide and 468 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: I wouldn't picked it up, and I'm still scrolling through 469 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 1: it and it's deep. You mentioned there's over a thousand guys. 470 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 1: I got laughed, and you said your people come and 471 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,439 Speaker 1: hit you up about players that aren't And to me, 472 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 1: I look at the draft guide and it's it's sort 473 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: of like Amazon, right, Like I look at Amazon, Like, 474 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,119 Speaker 1: if you can't find it on Amazon, you don't need it. 475 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 1: If there's not a player you can't find in this draft, guy, 476 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: ships are Um. You know, look, I know everybody wants 477 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 1: to work harder, but you know chance, so this guy 478 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 1: is not necessarily gonna be on the radar for anybody. Um. 479 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: But I do want to ask, I mean, having scouted 480 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 1: all this many guys, just your your general takeaways on 481 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 1: this draft class. I know people have thoughts and maybe 482 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: it's not as deep offensively, that this is more of 483 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: a defensive draft. After looking at all these guys, what 484 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: are your thoughts about this year's class. It's always a 485 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: deep draft for me because I tend to go deeper 486 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: than most. I'm always gonna find guys that can play. Um. 487 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: But I do feel like people are having the wrong 488 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 1: conversation about the quarterbacks instead of looking for the Trevor Lawrences. 489 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,439 Speaker 1: Hey man, let's try to strengthen these QB twos on 490 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: these NFL rosters where you know, you don't want a 491 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: situation where Let's say, for instance, Daniel Jones gets injured 492 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 1: and now you stuck with a bag of quarterbacks, Like, 493 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 1: now you better get someone that can at least play, 494 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 1: because it's what they went through last year. But they 495 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 1: upgraded their QB two spy with a Tarry Taylor. Um. 496 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: But I think that's where you can find good value 497 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: at the quarterback position. But everywhere else, man, it's it's 498 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,120 Speaker 1: a really deep class. And the reason why the guy 499 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: is as big as it is because a lot of 500 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 1: those guys that are in it came back to school 501 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: for this season to take that extra year. So it 502 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: kind of you're getting to draft classes in one. To 503 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: be completely honest, So he's talking about the quarterbacks over 504 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 1: quick and talk about the quarterbacks. Does this mean you 505 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,679 Speaker 1: don't see any instant impact the guys in this class. 506 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: I I've always said this, The only guy I would 507 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 1: take in round one is Malik Willis because he has 508 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 1: a trace that you gamble on. You know, he's fast, 509 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 1: he's mobile, he has upside still only a two year starter, 510 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: so to speak, has the rocket arm, he's the He's 511 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 1: a super charged version of jail and hurts in my opinion. 512 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 1: Now with that being said. The one guy that I 513 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: do feel like, and I've said this since, been the 514 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 1: one guy that is, you know, ready to step in 515 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,679 Speaker 1: right now and play it is Desmond Ritter because he's 516 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 1: played a lot of games, started a lot of games, 517 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 1: started some big games, you know, you know, conference championship games, 518 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,919 Speaker 1: play off game or two. So this is where you 519 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,640 Speaker 1: want to This is the guy that can, let's say, 520 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:09,119 Speaker 1: take over a team that is a stable quarterback away. 521 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,679 Speaker 1: I either Giants that will be a situation where a 522 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,159 Speaker 1: Desmond Ritter can go and play because they have talent, 523 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: or a Carolina Panthers where you look at all of 524 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: the ops that they have a receiver, tight end, running back, defensive, 525 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: young and athletic. They got better as a season went on. 526 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 1: They need someone that to not turn the ball over 527 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,159 Speaker 1: and to drive the bus. That's a Desmond Ridder. You know, 528 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,360 Speaker 1: I'm not saying take him at six, you know, I'm 529 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: saying that's someone that you took him round two and 530 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: let you know, like Andy Dalton and let him be 531 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 1: a starter. I'm fine with that. But yeah, this the 532 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: only one guy would gamble with the first round picking 533 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 1: that's Malik Willis. And it's funny you mentioned Desmond Ridder 534 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 1: because he was gonna be the other quarterback outside of 535 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 1: Malik Willis I was gonna ask you about because he's 536 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: got size, speed, arm strength. It just feels like he's 537 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 1: getting overlooked for like Kenny Pickett and Matt Corrall and 538 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: those guys, Like no one's really talking about Ritter and 539 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: I watched him and I'm like, this guy seems like 540 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: the most pro ready. Like, if anyone makes a year 541 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 1: one impact of these quarterbacks, do you think it's him? 542 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 1: I think so. And I compared his game to Marcus Mariota. 543 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 1: You know, he's just someone that that can help you. 544 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: I was a runner, you know, he's a he's a 545 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,959 Speaker 1: plus one there. Um, he's making good throws at the 546 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,400 Speaker 1: intermediate level of the field. That's where the NFL game 547 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 1: is is usually played. We're all wild by the deep throws, 548 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,199 Speaker 1: but I feel like that can come in time. But 549 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 1: as long as you're winning at the short intermediate level, 550 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 1: you're moving to football down the field. And because he 551 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 1: had to play at a program like Cincinnati that was 552 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: constantly fighting for respect, he's not afraid of pressure, you know, 553 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: to go into Notre Dame and beat Notre Dame to 554 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,679 Speaker 1: go into Georgia last year in that bowl game. They 555 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 1: should have won that game last year against Georgia um 556 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 1: in in a in a Peach Bowl. So he is 557 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 1: he's battle tested, and when you're battle tested, that's the 558 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 1: quarterback that I would rather have starting right away as opposed, 559 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 1: you know, to someone that has had it easy all 560 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 1: throughout his career. You know, and there's many quarterbacks that 561 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 1: you can point to in as an example, but someone 562 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 1: like Ritter has battle tested. I think he's more apt 563 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,439 Speaker 1: to start right away and handle the program. I'm not 564 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: saying he's a he's not a high ceiling guy, um, 565 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 1: but he's someone that can stabilize your franchise and play 566 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 1: complimentary football or rather well, I kind of wanted him 567 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,640 Speaker 1: to go to Washington before they signed are traded for 568 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,440 Speaker 1: a Carson went because Washington is another situation where you 569 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 1: just had a bus driver. You'll be fine, I feel like, 570 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:35,639 Speaker 1: and you can correct me from It feels though like 571 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 1: the the consensus has sort of caught up to this. 572 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 1: I mean, you talk about Malik Willis maybe being the 573 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 1: only guy you would you would take in the first round, 574 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 1: and I'm starting to see more and more moth drafts 575 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: where you only have maybe one quarterback or even no 576 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 1: quarterbacks taken in the first round, which feels sort of 577 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 1: weird because it feels like we always try to talk 578 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 1: ourselves into a couple of quarterbacks going high. Are you 579 00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 1: feeling that? Are you sensing that people are sort of 580 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: on board reflective the idea that this class doesn't have 581 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 1: any big time, you know, transformational stars in it. I'm 582 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 1: slowly started change, you know how people think you notice now, 583 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 1: you know, at first it was oh, he's too small. 584 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 1: Now everybody starting to buy into the the you know, 585 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: the Emmery Hunt. Size is not a skill. You know, 586 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter where you come from, you know, school, 587 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: you know. So if people start to buy to that, 588 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:24,960 Speaker 1: so maybe they start to buy into this part too. 589 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: Where man, how about we just make the entire fifty 590 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: three good. Therefore we could fail proof the roster for 591 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 1: a quarterback, and if we get a quarterback that can 592 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 1: just play complimentary football not turn the ball over. The 593 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 1: Bengals are a great example of that when they had 594 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 1: Andy Dalton. Look at all the talent that Andy Dalton 595 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: had as this disposal and they were constantly in the 596 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 1: playoffs when any ten games get into the playoffs, right, 597 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 1: and so if you have the best fifty three, because 598 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: here's a secret, I don't care how talented you are, 599 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: No one player is that good. Barry Sanders couldn't get 600 00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: the team to the super Bowl. You know, both Jackson 601 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 1: and get the Raiders to the super Bowl. You know, 602 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: you need a team. And so when we put all 603 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 1: our eggs in this basketball, the quarterback is gonna be 604 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: the difference. Dan Marino only got to one super Bowl, 605 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 1: you know, so we need a full roster of dudes 606 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 1: that can play. And if you have a good roster, 607 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 1: the quarterback can you know you can withstand you know, 608 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 1: a quarterback that's kind of baseline because you kind of 609 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 1: want and people will probably hear this the wrong way 610 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: if you I feel like, at worst, every quarterback should 611 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 1: be Kirk Cousins. He is like the baseline NFL average, Right, 612 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 1: that's what you should draft. When you're drafting a quarterback. 613 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 1: It shouldn't be below the Kurt uh you know, the 614 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins line with in baseball to Mendoza line, the 615 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins line. Everything should be above that. And so 616 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 1: with with quarterbacks, I feel like we have to get 617 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 1: out that mindset of looking at these guys as as 618 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 1: game changers. Yeah, there are gonna be a few, but 619 00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,479 Speaker 1: even those few need a team around me. And if 620 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 1: you're a quarterback, you should be trying to make Kirk 621 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 1: Cousins money. That's that's all I'm gonna say. But we 622 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 1: we often hear like when targeting a quarterback, when teams 623 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 1: are deciding, they look to the next year's class as well. 624 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 1: I know we're here to talk about this year, but like, 625 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 1: how is next year's class gonna be, because there's a 626 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 1: lot of teams that I think could be in the 627 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 1: market for it that already have multiple first round picks 628 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 1: next year. Yeah, be careful what you ask for because 629 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 1: you just might get it right. As much people talk 630 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 1: about next year's class, a man, listen, you know Bryce 631 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 1: Young is good, but is he really that that difference 632 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 1: maker or are we just saying that because he quarterbacks 633 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 1: at Alabama? You know Stroud people hate it Stroud earlier 634 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 1: in the year, and now they love them. You know, 635 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 1: these are the same folks that told us Spencer Rattler 636 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 1: and DJ who Young would be, you know, clear cut 637 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,480 Speaker 1: one and two, And look at those two guys. So 638 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 1: you never really know. Um, especially with college football the 639 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 1: way it is nowadays, you don't really know until a 640 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 1: guy can stack, you know, consecutive good seasons. So I 641 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 1: would say the only thing that we have right now 642 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 1: is the president. Don't look for next year. Always focus 643 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 1: on I wish you could do this year, because those 644 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 1: that are in charge now won't probably be picking the 645 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 1: next years. So you can't go and look ahead. You 646 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 1: gotta look at the president, how you can make this 647 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 1: team better for this year. Yeah. I think that's the 648 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: key to write. A lot of the guys who are 649 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 1: making decisions this year, a lot of them will be 650 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 1: around next year to make these same these same choices. UM. 651 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,440 Speaker 1: I want to turn to the wide receivers now because 652 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 1: there's been a lot of talk, especially the guys at 653 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 1: the top, right. I mean that the Garrett Wilson's, Crystal Lave's, 654 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: Drake London's, Uh you went in the draft that I 655 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 1: mean you broke these down. I mean you've got you know, 656 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 1: you've got your flankers, you've got your split in, You've 657 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 1: got you know a number of different categories. Um, First 658 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 1: of all, what made you decide? How did you decide 659 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 1: to split that up and how much does it translate 660 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 1: because some guys can do both, So how do you 661 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 1: determine like how guys get slotted into to which categories. 662 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:56,239 Speaker 1: It's fascinating because I remember when I first started doing this. 663 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 1: You know, you just a greed and rank, but you 664 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 1: know people always have Yeah, maybe it's with social media. 665 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 1: Everybody wants to argue. So even though you may have 666 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 1: this guy as like wide receiver fifteen, how could you 667 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 1: have in at wide receiver fifth team? It was like, 668 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 1: I mean, but they got the same grade, Like it's 669 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,960 Speaker 1: like fifteen first round picks, right, and it's like, man, 670 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:16,640 Speaker 1: it's you know, like he said, the first round pick. 671 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,200 Speaker 1: Just so's you know what, let me break this up 672 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 1: because ideally you're not gonna ask Kolbs to play play 673 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 1: the same role as Randy Moss because they played two 674 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,360 Speaker 1: different positions. So let's grade this like how an NFL 675 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 1: team probably would view it. Um And so I broke 676 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 1: it up into those four positions to where now guys 677 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,800 Speaker 1: can feel now you can kind of explain why guys made, 678 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 1: you know, slot different than than others. So yeah, some 679 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 1: guys can play all four and I make sure to 680 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: make a note of that. Where guys can play all 681 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:50,560 Speaker 1: three kind of like with linebacker, you kind of play 682 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 1: all three positions. Um for corner, you can play both sides. 683 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 1: Some guys can be even play in the slot. And 684 00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,520 Speaker 1: and so you just want to have you know, people 685 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,240 Speaker 1: see the game how they see it on Sunday. You know, 686 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 1: you you know what the slot receiver is, you know 687 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:06,960 Speaker 1: what your your number one is. That's your ex and 688 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:08,920 Speaker 1: you know a guy that that really is your your 689 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 1: playmaker so to speak, which could be your flanker or 690 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,360 Speaker 1: your Z receiver, someone that can really just fly and 691 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 1: take the top off of defense. So you explain it 692 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,320 Speaker 1: that way and people start to see it like, Okay, 693 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,719 Speaker 1: now I get it. Um, yeah, he's the number one 694 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,400 Speaker 1: slot guy. That's the guy who want to play slot. 695 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 1: And so when you gred it that way, it makes 696 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 1: your job easier and a lot of times just grading it, 697 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,279 Speaker 1: you greet the player first and then you slop them 698 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 1: in which position because you may find that not on 699 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:35,759 Speaker 1: slot guys are five nine, five ten, You may have 700 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 1: a dope six three slot slot guy. You know, let's 701 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 1: say someone like a Keenan Allen could be a tremendous 702 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:46,279 Speaker 1: slot receiver if he chose to. Don't tell code Easley that. 703 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:51,719 Speaker 1: Um so, how many I mean when you look at 704 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 1: this group, I mean, how many guys do you see 705 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 1: first rounds? Like, you know, I feel like there's three 706 00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 1: four of my guys that that I feel like have 707 00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,879 Speaker 1: legit first round grades. Did you see that more or less? 708 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:04,120 Speaker 1: How are you feeling? I see about three to four. 709 00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:09,480 Speaker 1: And and with the draft is always interesting because you um, 710 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:11,960 Speaker 1: you you know there's gonna be a runner on a 711 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 1: certain position. You know, so this year maybe a run 712 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:20,680 Speaker 1: on tackles or corners or you know, d Lineman, so 713 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:24,319 Speaker 1: that will push a position down. But I feel like 714 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 1: we can you know, say definitive, definitive, definitively that there 715 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 1: are three to four first frund receivers. I feel like 716 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 1: OLBB is a lock. I feel like, um, you know, 717 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 1: Drake London is a lock. I also feel like someone like, um, 718 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,920 Speaker 1: you know, people say Jamison Williams to me, that's a 719 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,480 Speaker 1: little bit of a wild card because the a C 720 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:50,360 Speaker 1: L I know, we just I know, we want to 721 00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:54,840 Speaker 1: compare everyone to Adrian Peterson, you know, and him coming 722 00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:58,640 Speaker 1: back like Wolverine and and being exactly like he was 723 00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:00,840 Speaker 1: prior to an a c L and read late in 724 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,880 Speaker 1: the season no less um, But everybody's not like that. 725 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,399 Speaker 1: So I feel like we can get you know, those 726 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 1: guys in those how you say you guys. Wilson is 727 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 1: another one. I feel like it's destined for a first 728 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,319 Speaker 1: round UM. And Christian Watson could be the other one. 729 00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 1: He you know, he's making a charge based off you know, 730 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 1: him checking all those boxes, hightway speed and his play 731 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,279 Speaker 1: down at the Senior Bowl in conjunction what we did 732 00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 1: at North Kota State. So I do feel like three, 733 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,960 Speaker 1: maybe four or definite going in the first round, UM, 734 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 1: And there's always gonna be a surprise, and my surprise 735 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,479 Speaker 1: would probably be George Pickens going in the first round. 736 00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 1: You named a lot of receivers, and you did not 737 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:42,560 Speaker 1: mention Trailing Burke's who h c ad him too, because 738 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:48,520 Speaker 1: because again, just like how could you not mentioned you're 739 00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:50,840 Speaker 1: right versus another one. But I don't see Birk's. I 740 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:54,760 Speaker 1: see Burke's as a slot guy. But Burt is someone that, um, 741 00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,640 Speaker 1: I know, you know, I made a joke tweet about 742 00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:59,640 Speaker 1: the other day that there's more than five quarterbacks in 743 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,400 Speaker 1: Trailing Birks in his draft class. Um, you know that 744 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,399 Speaker 1: people to talk about. But Berks is someone that that 745 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:09,239 Speaker 1: he plays football how you want someone to play football. Um, 746 00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,120 Speaker 1: he's probably the A. J. Brown of this of this 747 00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:15,840 Speaker 1: class and how he's built, how he plays. Um, definitely 748 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,439 Speaker 1: can go on the first round and people, I don't 749 00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:18,759 Speaker 1: want to slot him the green baby, but if you 750 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,759 Speaker 1: look at green bast rosters, if you're not long and slim, 751 00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,480 Speaker 1: you're not gonna be on green based rosters. But they 752 00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,440 Speaker 1: have a type. They clearly have a type. Excuse me, 753 00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 1: more likely to get trailing Burkston, Green bay Wood. So 754 00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,480 Speaker 1: you know, I do see you know, three to four. 755 00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:35,960 Speaker 1: But yeah, Berks is the one that I love as 756 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:40,680 Speaker 1: a football player. And if you I know, landing spout matters. 757 00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,120 Speaker 1: But if you're to guest right now, of these receivers, 758 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,560 Speaker 1: which one has the biggest year one impact? Who would 759 00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:50,400 Speaker 1: you go with? M that's a good question. Um London 760 00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:54,440 Speaker 1: out of USC. Um. I feel like London when you 761 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,960 Speaker 1: watch him, and USC made no bones about it, like 762 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,880 Speaker 1: hey man, you're our best offensive. We're getting you the 763 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 1: football like we're throwing snap throw, Like don't waste time 764 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,439 Speaker 1: and do something like Um, and and that's what he does. 765 00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,799 Speaker 1: So I feel like he could win short, he could 766 00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,880 Speaker 1: win intermediate, and he could win deep down the field. 767 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,279 Speaker 1: And I know I've made this comparison or this this 768 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,759 Speaker 1: talking point when people bring up his separation, but he 769 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,640 Speaker 1: doesn't really get separation or like bro, he probably was 770 00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:29,719 Speaker 1: open four seconds before the quarterback does do finally decide, Okay, 771 00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:31,400 Speaker 1: let me go see what London over they're doing by 772 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,799 Speaker 1: that time, be covered, you know. And so you got 773 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:37,879 Speaker 1: to realize he's also playing with uh inconsistent quarterbacks too, 774 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:41,440 Speaker 1: so it kind of hurts the receiver perception. But he 775 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,799 Speaker 1: can win at all levels of the field. And I 776 00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,440 Speaker 1: do feel like he's someone that can step in and 777 00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,800 Speaker 1: be a day one starter as your as your ex 778 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,759 Speaker 1: as you're slipping as your Bona fly number one. I am. 779 00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:55,040 Speaker 1: I am a notorious USC homer. So I've been trying 780 00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,680 Speaker 1: to I've been trying to not talk up Drake London 781 00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:59,040 Speaker 1: because I you know, I'm trying to like try to 782 00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,160 Speaker 1: be objective here. So glad that you said all that 783 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,960 Speaker 1: kind of stuff. I will tell you Watching the Trojans 784 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,480 Speaker 1: this past year, it was it was it was frustrating 785 00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,040 Speaker 1: a lot of times. When London got hurt. I think 786 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:09,360 Speaker 1: we all just sort of threw up our hands and 787 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:11,360 Speaker 1: realized that, you know, whatever little hope we have this 788 00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:15,319 Speaker 1: season probably were with him at that point. So uh 789 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,399 Speaker 1: it just it warms my heart to hear you talk 790 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,480 Speaker 1: up talk up Drake London like that. But um, I 791 00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:24,040 Speaker 1: want to ask you, you what part of why we 792 00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:25,239 Speaker 1: want to have you on, a part of why we 793 00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 1: like talking is because you are not You know, you 794 00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:29,640 Speaker 1: are not gonna ever be accused of group think, right, 795 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:31,960 Speaker 1: You're not gonna be that guy that goes out on 796 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,040 Speaker 1: everybody else. Explain to me why just Sean Corbyn is 797 00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:38,480 Speaker 1: your number one running back. I'm glad you brought him 798 00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:44,080 Speaker 1: up because EQUAL look at um position differently and again, 799 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:47,160 Speaker 1: having played that position, I look at it a little 800 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,239 Speaker 1: bit from the other side of the coin and from 801 00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:52,399 Speaker 1: a different perspective. Right, it's all about which angle you're 802 00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:56,799 Speaker 1: coming from. And for me, um, you watched the Sean 803 00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:01,640 Speaker 1: Corbyn and his vision, his footwork and the most important thing, 804 00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:06,759 Speaker 1: his elusiveness is what makes him a difference maker. And 805 00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,000 Speaker 1: you know, the last time I checked, the game is 806 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:12,120 Speaker 1: about not being tackled if going off, and this dude 807 00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,680 Speaker 1: does a great job of being elusive. And when you're 808 00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:18,920 Speaker 1: combining that with you know, his bursts and the ability 809 00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:22,480 Speaker 1: to see it, there's things that you know that certain 810 00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:27,080 Speaker 1: runners you'll tend to do right. Um, and like we 811 00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:30,760 Speaker 1: all can see it. Like for instance, if we're running 812 00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:34,879 Speaker 1: front side right and and I see the I see 813 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:38,560 Speaker 1: the linebacker like fast flowing over to where I am, 814 00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:40,880 Speaker 1: and I see the cutback lane. But the way my 815 00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:44,200 Speaker 1: athletics has been set up, I can't get backside like 816 00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,680 Speaker 1: he's fast darty guys can, so I gotta keep it 817 00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,920 Speaker 1: play side right. This dude can see it. You know 818 00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,040 Speaker 1: he has that hammerhead shark periphery. You know he's gonna 819 00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:55,960 Speaker 1: see it and get backside like man, I wish I 820 00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 1: had his level of you know, footwork and his his 821 00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:01,319 Speaker 1: exposements in his vision. And when you get him into 822 00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:05,279 Speaker 1: a situation where it's a tight box in terms of 823 00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:06,960 Speaker 1: like a phone booth, you know, he could make that 824 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:11,200 Speaker 1: guy miss while making moves going downhill. So it's almost 825 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:16,120 Speaker 1: very it's very Kareem Hunt, like it's very Chase Hetman's like, um, 826 00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:18,800 Speaker 1: And you know I was sitting there, we all watched 827 00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,919 Speaker 1: that that North Notre Dame Florida State game. Oh wow, 828 00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:23,640 Speaker 1: this is the dude that had a nine your touchdown run. 829 00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:25,600 Speaker 1: Why isn't he touching the football the rest of the game, 830 00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,719 Speaker 1: you know? And so that's probably why he didn't put 831 00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,440 Speaker 1: up these monster numbers. People forget he played at Texas 832 00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,600 Speaker 1: and them. He was really good at Texas and m 833 00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:36,360 Speaker 1: too before he transferred to me. It's just the combination 834 00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:40,000 Speaker 1: of footwork, vision elusiveness. Because when you're elusive, he had 835 00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:41,880 Speaker 1: the footwork you could be your own blocker, you know, 836 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,960 Speaker 1: so you can essentially set guys up two to three 837 00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,560 Speaker 1: yards down the field and then make that guy miss 838 00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:50,120 Speaker 1: you're already working on the next guy. Um, And he 839 00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,680 Speaker 1: just has that that good combination that I think he'll be, 840 00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:54,640 Speaker 1: you know, and I hate saying this, but I think 841 00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,000 Speaker 1: he'll be a much better pro than he who was 842 00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:01,560 Speaker 1: in college. So I like the election of traits that 843 00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:04,719 Speaker 1: he brings to the table. I know he's not your 844 00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,719 Speaker 1: RB one, Breece Hall is your RB three, but many 845 00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,600 Speaker 1: people think he's gonna be the first running back selected 846 00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:13,200 Speaker 1: in this year's draft. I'm wondering who he reminds you 847 00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,439 Speaker 1: of and what we should expect from him in year one? 848 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,719 Speaker 1: And it's not because he wears you know, eight, but 849 00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:23,000 Speaker 1: sometimes it's hard to ignore the one to one comp 850 00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,480 Speaker 1: But he's very Curtis Martin like you know, like he 851 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:30,280 Speaker 1: he has a good run style. He runs behind his pads, 852 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,120 Speaker 1: good bursts. You know, he kind of runs a little stiff. 853 00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,040 Speaker 1: He's a little high, little leggy in terms of how 854 00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:39,960 Speaker 1: he runs. UM. So it makes his cutbacks not as 855 00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,839 Speaker 1: as clean or crisp, but he sees it and he's 856 00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,360 Speaker 1: able to make the big play when the team needs 857 00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,920 Speaker 1: the big play. And if we're being completely honest, when 858 00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:51,400 Speaker 1: you play Iowa State, you're worried about Breeze Hall and 859 00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:55,040 Speaker 1: you're about you know, Charlie Cohler the tight end, you know, 860 00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:57,960 Speaker 1: and that's it. You stopped those who you essentially stopped 861 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,439 Speaker 1: anything they try to do offensively. And I think he's 862 00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:05,360 Speaker 1: he's someone that is a really good foundational back And 863 00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,400 Speaker 1: to me that that means it's someone that could be 864 00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,120 Speaker 1: your starter that can handle twenty carries that you don't 865 00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:13,080 Speaker 1: really take off the field. And you know, so for me, 866 00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:17,440 Speaker 1: him and Isaiah Spiller and and Zamia White are those 867 00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:20,160 Speaker 1: type guys so where you could just lean on um 868 00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:22,919 Speaker 1: and let them spearhead your running game, close out of game, 869 00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,319 Speaker 1: or even just you know, put a team away. Uh, 870 00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:27,400 Speaker 1: let's say in and with with a four minute offense 871 00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:29,319 Speaker 1: type of approach. But I am a big fan of 872 00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:33,840 Speaker 1: Breeze Hall. Has have you changed how you scout running 873 00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:36,040 Speaker 1: backs over the last few years, because obviously the NFL 874 00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:39,440 Speaker 1: uses them differently? Excuse me, um, we don't see a 875 00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:41,960 Speaker 1: lot of true work coorse. You know, sure we have 876 00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,920 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, right, and you've got Derrick Henry when he's healthy. 877 00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:48,799 Speaker 1: Those guys don't really exist in large numbers anymore. It's 878 00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,440 Speaker 1: a lot more teams using two and three running backs. 879 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:54,239 Speaker 1: Has that changed how you sort of scout guys at 880 00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:57,879 Speaker 1: the college level a little bit? And you know, it's 881 00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:01,480 Speaker 1: a it's a legit question in the one because you 882 00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:05,640 Speaker 1: know you can't. I can't look at um the game 883 00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:11,160 Speaker 1: the same way it was, you know in in or 884 00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,279 Speaker 1: the same way it was in eighty nine. You have 885 00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:17,720 Speaker 1: to really adjust. And I was easily making that change 886 00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:22,600 Speaker 1: with quarterbacks, right, you know how I viewed quarterbacks, that 887 00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:24,560 Speaker 1: was all I was always on the other side of, Oh, 888 00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:25,960 Speaker 1: you gotta look at it this way. This is what 889 00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:29,000 Speaker 1: the league is missing out on but running back because 890 00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:31,520 Speaker 1: of probably my close ties to the position is it 891 00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,520 Speaker 1: was a little bit slow in terms of making that transition. 892 00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,560 Speaker 1: So now, yeah, you have to be able to you know, 893 00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:41,480 Speaker 1: catch the football. Number one. Um, you have to be 894 00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:45,360 Speaker 1: able to be at least competent in pass pro. You know, 895 00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:47,400 Speaker 1: you don't have to be a you know, a guard 896 00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:49,839 Speaker 1: out there. But you can't just keep getting run over, right, 897 00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:54,120 Speaker 1: you know, So if you have to be competent, and um, 898 00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:57,799 Speaker 1: you have to do more with with less? And I 899 00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,239 Speaker 1: used to be hung up on or you can this 900 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:03,279 Speaker 1: guy the football thirty times a game like yo, that's 901 00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:06,560 Speaker 1: not gonna happen in no offense? Um, can you do 902 00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:09,040 Speaker 1: more with less? Are you a guy that needs volume? 903 00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:12,319 Speaker 1: If your guy that needs volume, I'm pushing you down 904 00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,080 Speaker 1: my list kind of like I wasn't as high on 905 00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:18,320 Speaker 1: or Jordan Howard juxtaposed to be being high on a 906 00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:21,640 Speaker 1: to Rick Cohen. You know, a guy like Cohen will 907 00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:23,799 Speaker 1: probably give you more bang for your buckers. He could 908 00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:26,080 Speaker 1: do more with less as opposed to a guy like 909 00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,479 Speaker 1: Howard that really needs to get rolling to get going, 910 00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:31,319 Speaker 1: get productive. Um, but you have to be able to 911 00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:36,560 Speaker 1: be able to you know, strike when your number is called, Um, 912 00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:38,200 Speaker 1: you can't use the excuse. So I need to get 913 00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:40,160 Speaker 1: couple more carrots, get into a groove. You have to 914 00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:42,040 Speaker 1: be able to do it when you can. And that's 915 00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:45,120 Speaker 1: how I've mainly adjusted how I viewed the position in 916 00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:47,320 Speaker 1: terms of, you know what type of backs are working 917 00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:50,640 Speaker 1: in the NFL level and you you brought up Trekoh 918 00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:52,560 Speaker 1: And when I first met you, Emory, you were you 919 00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,080 Speaker 1: were banging the table for him when no one had 920 00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:58,319 Speaker 1: even heard the name Trekking before. So is there a 921 00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:00,920 Speaker 1: prospector too like that that in this class that you're like, 922 00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:02,520 Speaker 1: this guy is gonna be good and the rest of 923 00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:05,759 Speaker 1: the world just doesn't know it yet. Man, that's that's 924 00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:09,640 Speaker 1: that's a great one. Um. I probably would say I 925 00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,120 Speaker 1: feel like everybody now, I was watching a lot more football, 926 00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,640 Speaker 1: so it's hard me to you know someone, but I 927 00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:18,040 Speaker 1: will say ja Quez Ezart out of Sam Houston. You know, 928 00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:20,000 Speaker 1: we all sat around for two years and you know, 929 00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:22,600 Speaker 1: we're sitting inside with COVID and you know, we all 930 00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:25,719 Speaker 1: watched the FCS in the spring and Sam Houston and 931 00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:29,920 Speaker 1: to quest As it was just lighting up defenses. And 932 00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:33,720 Speaker 1: I've seen him at Howard because I broadcast some games 933 00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:36,840 Speaker 1: for Howard, right, and so when he was at Howard, 934 00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:40,440 Speaker 1: you know he was. I remember they played I want 935 00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:42,400 Speaker 1: to say it was South Carolina City. That's why I 936 00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,359 Speaker 1: first got hip to Brian Cook because he was also 937 00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:48,960 Speaker 1: on that team playing defense. That he's playing safety. Um. 938 00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:51,399 Speaker 1: But just like the first playing a game against South Carolina, say, 939 00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:53,520 Speaker 1: we had just did the whole thing on leading up 940 00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:56,560 Speaker 1: into the opening kick off South Carolina Cities defense and 941 00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:59,000 Speaker 1: they've done this, and you know, Buterpheugh's defense first played 942 00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:01,879 Speaker 1: the game asert in yard testouts like joke, like that's 943 00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,279 Speaker 1: just do every day. We talked about out the window. Um. 944 00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:06,800 Speaker 1: But he goes Sam Houston and he he is someone 945 00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:09,040 Speaker 1: and this is another thing that I hate saying, but 946 00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:11,680 Speaker 1: you know, but it is what it is. If you're 947 00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:16,120 Speaker 1: looking for the next Deebo Samuel, you know, run game, Um, 948 00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:19,319 Speaker 1: that's Hazzard. And he has a great sense of timing too. 949 00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:21,960 Speaker 1: I was at the NFL p A game and every 950 00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:26,160 Speaker 1: time you look up, he was just blowing past corners. Um. 951 00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:29,000 Speaker 1: And then he gets a call up to the Senior Bowl. 952 00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:32,800 Speaker 1: First practice there, he's deep down the field, you know, 953 00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:36,200 Speaker 1: leaving a corner the dust. So he's someone that's gonna 954 00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:38,200 Speaker 1: make an impact on offense. He I called him the 955 00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:41,680 Speaker 1: next Steve Smith and my draft guide how well he is. 956 00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,640 Speaker 1: He's a physical guy's about five nine about he's a 957 00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:48,160 Speaker 1: muscular one um and he could run and and so 958 00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:49,759 Speaker 1: he has good a jelly. So he's gonna help out 959 00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:52,359 Speaker 1: on special teams number one. But that's someone that I think, 960 00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:55,000 Speaker 1: will you know, he he will be an impact player 961 00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:59,560 Speaker 1: within the offense because he's dangerous with the football. When 962 00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:02,400 Speaker 1: you're looking at guys, how much do you factor in measurables? 963 00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,640 Speaker 1: You know, combine drills, pro day drills versus just what 964 00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:07,560 Speaker 1: you watch on tape. And I say that because I 965 00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,080 Speaker 1: woke up this morning and I checked my Twitter timeline, 966 00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:12,640 Speaker 1: and I see a bunch of people raving about Geelani Woods, 967 00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:16,160 Speaker 1: the tight end at Virginia who apparently put out some 968 00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:18,680 Speaker 1: has some really great measurable People are getting really really 969 00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:21,040 Speaker 1: excited about this guy, And like, I know, his career 970 00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:24,360 Speaker 1: was was nice, It wasn't you know, statistically wasn't spectacular 971 00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:27,799 Speaker 1: in Virginia. So you know, when you see these guys 972 00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,759 Speaker 1: who test really really well, uh, you know, do you 973 00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:33,480 Speaker 1: does that make you rethink what you saw or you 974 00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:35,400 Speaker 1: just kind of confidentially I know what I saw and 975 00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:38,320 Speaker 1: this is what I believe in. Yeah, that part you 976 00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:43,920 Speaker 1: have to trust what you see because that's the actual player. Um. 977 00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:47,560 Speaker 1: We all like to think in terms of you know, 978 00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:51,640 Speaker 1: potential and what that could mean, like oh, this Tighten 979 00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:54,839 Speaker 1: the six seven. Yeah, well Tighten at Nebraska's six eight 980 00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:58,000 Speaker 1: awesome album. You know, so so you could have, we 981 00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:00,160 Speaker 1: could have If that was the case, we'd have more 982 00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:02,960 Speaker 1: basketball players playing tight end in the NFL because you 983 00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:04,480 Speaker 1: just throw it up to him and they'll catch everything. 984 00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:06,920 Speaker 1: We know that's not the case because some guys, you know, 985 00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:10,920 Speaker 1: while they may test athletically, it may not apply to 986 00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:15,200 Speaker 1: the football field. And while guys you know may play 987 00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:20,640 Speaker 1: ridiculously fast, you know, ridiculously quick and agile, they may 988 00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:23,799 Speaker 1: not test that way. And so you can't get caught up. 989 00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:26,640 Speaker 1: That's why I try to have my my draft guide 990 00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:30,000 Speaker 1: and draft thoughts done before the combine. This year was 991 00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:35,000 Speaker 1: different because we had the HPC Legacy Bowl thrown in 992 00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:37,359 Speaker 1: the middle of februaryies that took a week away from 993 00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:40,120 Speaker 1: you know, me just breaking down prospects post All Star 994 00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:42,839 Speaker 1: Game circuit, and I really have to, you know, add 995 00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:46,520 Speaker 1: those hundred players into the guy. And so I try 996 00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:49,960 Speaker 1: to have that done before because you don't want as 997 00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:52,759 Speaker 1: much as we say it can influence. I mean, when 998 00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,960 Speaker 1: you see someone Runner four two, it's just like, man, 999 00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:59,120 Speaker 1: you know, it's hard to you know, you look back, 1000 00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:02,520 Speaker 1: like my head is s at seventy eight, but he 1001 00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:05,279 Speaker 1: just ran a four two. That's gonna look dumb, like man, 1002 00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:07,480 Speaker 1: and my miss is something right. But you gotta you 1003 00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:10,080 Speaker 1: gotta say he's true to what you saw film. He 1004 00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:12,279 Speaker 1: may run forward to but does he play for too 1005 00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:15,759 Speaker 1: there there's also a debate in fantasy a lot of 1006 00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:18,840 Speaker 1: the times, like a player's talent versus like opportunity. So 1007 00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:21,719 Speaker 1: in the draft part of it, we we know like 1008 00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,040 Speaker 1: like you do all the scouting and you do great work, 1009 00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:26,720 Speaker 1: But how important then is landing spot for a player 1010 00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:30,239 Speaker 1: both for development and opportunity immediately? Like does that change 1011 00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:32,400 Speaker 1: how you feel about a prospect or do you just 1012 00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:35,560 Speaker 1: trust what you see on tape? No? And that's a 1013 00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:39,480 Speaker 1: great point because fantasy is completely different, and you know, 1014 00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:44,160 Speaker 1: being involved in fantasy um and trying to merge the two, 1015 00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:48,320 Speaker 1: you know, uh, evaluations and fantasy and how it applies 1016 00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:52,320 Speaker 1: has been you know, been transition for me. Um prime example, 1017 00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:57,960 Speaker 1: like you know the talent I was telling everybody about, Uh, 1018 00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:03,000 Speaker 1: Deance Harris right, the small receiver of assumption. Dude look 1019 00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:06,239 Speaker 1: like he was playing fast forward on film. But if 1020 00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:10,120 Speaker 1: he doesn't go to New Orleans, you know, does he 1021 00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:12,799 Speaker 1: get the opportunity you know with Sean Payton is trying 1022 00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:14,480 Speaker 1: to give you know, put that guy in position. It 1023 00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:16,880 Speaker 1: took him a while to finally put him on the 1024 00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:18,880 Speaker 1: field in the slot as a receiver and not just 1025 00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:21,319 Speaker 1: use him as a return guy. Um and we saw 1026 00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:24,200 Speaker 1: him and Jamis was able to do so, Yeah, I 1027 00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:28,120 Speaker 1: may have my evaluations, and you know that's separate from 1028 00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:31,040 Speaker 1: the fit. So if this guy, let's say something like 1029 00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:36,839 Speaker 1: just Sean Corbyn Lance with a team or a coach 1030 00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:39,800 Speaker 1: that that really wants to that's still an old school 1031 00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:43,200 Speaker 1: in his thinking of running the football right down the 1032 00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:45,320 Speaker 1: a gap, put a fullback in front of you, and 1033 00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:47,840 Speaker 1: and you better be able to you know, be like 1034 00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:50,680 Speaker 1: Ryan Dane. Well that's not his game, you know. So 1035 00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:54,200 Speaker 1: it's gonna make you evaluation look like it's not worth it, 1036 00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:58,200 Speaker 1: worth of damn. But is that really an indictment on 1037 00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:01,919 Speaker 1: your evaluation? Or that a fit issue. And we saw 1038 00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:04,720 Speaker 1: this a lot with Uh. I remember people talking about 1039 00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:08,320 Speaker 1: um Chase Atmans. I don't like no Chase that musball 1040 00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:09,560 Speaker 1: come out of for him. This is a good guy. 1041 00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:12,200 Speaker 1: Bah blah blah. He goes to the Cardinals. They already 1042 00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:15,319 Speaker 1: had David Johnson. I wasn't the big David Johnson guy. 1043 00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:19,080 Speaker 1: And when he finally gave that mr the you know, 1044 00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:22,239 Speaker 1: the carries he was producing, then they bring in another 1045 00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:26,160 Speaker 1: David Johnson like person um and hand him to football 1046 00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:28,319 Speaker 1: because they you know, for whatever reason, people just love 1047 00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:31,640 Speaker 1: big backs crashing everybody. So that's that's what everybody likes. 1048 00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:34,200 Speaker 1: So now he goes to Miami, and as much as 1049 00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:36,319 Speaker 1: you like the talent, you know Miami is probably gonna 1050 00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:39,160 Speaker 1: end up drafting another running back to to pair with them. 1051 00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:42,600 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean your evaluation of the player, you know 1052 00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:46,120 Speaker 1: it was off. It just means that the usage and 1053 00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:49,520 Speaker 1: the fit just isn't working. So if you look at 1054 00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:53,480 Speaker 1: like I may have say corpyin number one, um, but 1055 00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:55,719 Speaker 1: if he goes somewhere where I know he's not gonna 1056 00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:58,279 Speaker 1: get beautilized. And people canna say, well, who's your top 1057 00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:01,719 Speaker 1: fantasy back this year it'll probably be somebody else. But 1058 00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:04,120 Speaker 1: they said, well you had Corbyn number one. Yeah, but 1059 00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:06,560 Speaker 1: look where he landed. You know what I'm saying, football Siberia. 1060 00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:08,359 Speaker 1: It's not gonna it's not gonna work out for him. 1061 00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:11,920 Speaker 1: So basically I'm hearing if Shaun Corbyn goes to like 1062 00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:14,920 Speaker 1: the Seahawks and Pete Carroll tries to just you know, 1063 00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:17,640 Speaker 1: run him up, up the guy that you're not gonna workoutside. 1064 00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:21,239 Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought up that right that year. I 1065 00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:23,840 Speaker 1: want to I want to say I had Rasha Penny 1066 00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:26,880 Speaker 1: was my r B two, right, because that year was 1067 00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:30,000 Speaker 1: Sae Kwon Barkley. So, and I was worried about Nick 1068 00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:34,160 Speaker 1: Chubb ever regaining that true explosiveness because of the knee injury, 1069 00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:36,960 Speaker 1: you know. And so I had Nick Chubb as a 1070 00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:39,640 Speaker 1: second round town seventy seventh grade, right, So, and I 1071 00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:41,719 Speaker 1: had Penny I think as an eight or eighty one. 1072 00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:44,800 Speaker 1: He goes to Seattle. I'm like he took him in 1073 00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:48,440 Speaker 1: the first round. This is perfect. All of a sudden, 1074 00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:50,800 Speaker 1: he rather give the football to you know, It's like, 1075 00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:54,359 Speaker 1: what is what is this like? Like what I take 1076 00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:55,799 Speaker 1: to do in the first round? If you gonna give 1077 00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:57,200 Speaker 1: it to this dude to just run to the back 1078 00:53:57,200 --> 00:54:02,279 Speaker 1: of the guards and so finally he's starting to prove 1079 00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:05,040 Speaker 1: produce and now it's like I don't want be that guy, 1080 00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:07,960 Speaker 1: Like I told you all that, but you gotta sit 1081 00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:09,920 Speaker 1: back and this, you know, smoke that out and like 1082 00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:13,600 Speaker 1: and do you want to get you So it's like 1083 00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:16,400 Speaker 1: like whatever, man, Well, I'm glad we got to give 1084 00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:18,160 Speaker 1: you space to take a victory lap here because like 1085 00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:20,040 Speaker 1: I don't, I don't mind it.
